A form of the male, which I have previously described 

 as a distinct species under the name alhofascia, is without 

 any white on the secondaries, and the band on primaries 

 is broader than in male disparilis. The type of this form 

 was from Ohoyama, and I have received a similar speci- 

 men from Moupin. As all the forms of disparilis have a 

 fascia on primaries, perhaps it would be well to substitute 

 simplex for alhofascia. 



The type and cotype of var. separata $ are from Chang- 

 yang ; one of these has a white spot on the costa of 

 primaries near the base, and both have a yellowish white 

 streak from the centre of the fascia to apex of the wing. 

 One female from Chia-kou-ho has the primaries of the 

 type-form, but the secondaries are marked as in separata, 

 with three additional black spots on the middle of the 

 outer margin. The female type of var. sep)arata is 

 from Chang-yang, and I have other examples of the 

 same sex of this form from Moupin and Kiukiang ; there 

 were three examples in Fryer's collection, probably from 

 Ohoyama. 



All these are larger than the female figured by 

 Staudinger. None of my specimens of either sex have 

 the venation yellow, as it is represented to be in the 

 figure of the male and female of disparilis.
